whats your favorite..

favorite what?

the beach is better than the pool because the sounds of nature will drown out the noise of the crowd.

favorite beer is hard to say. to be general...brown ales and stouts. I'm also more partial to what I brew myself.

Just finished a pint of a cherry-chocolate ale I picked up from a local brewery. Interesting and tasty, you can really taste the fruit on the front end melting into an oakey-chocolate flavor, but not something I could drink regularly.

Is it Stone's new Cherry Chocolate Stout?

Brooklyn sorachi ace saison and great divide Hercules double ipa.

Both awesome. I've found the greatest beer store.

Anybody ever had any great divide stuff? Everything I've had has been great.

I enjoy both of those beers. It's hard to go wrong with anything Great Divide. Have you had any of their Yeti yet? It's an imperial stout. They have a regular Yeti and also chocolate, espresso and oak-aged versions. They are all good, but the oak-aged is my favorite.

Yea, i was going to pick up the oak aged yesterday but the guy who runs the shop told me he thought the hercules was better so i grabbed that instead.

I'll pick it up next time though and let you know what I think.

Gettin ready to crack open an Ovila Saison. mmmmm.

Schwarzbier, The Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery, Farmville

About $10 for 6 (12-ounce) bottles.

The pumpkin beers are coming. And the Ocktoberfests. It seems too soon, with your air conditioner perpetually cycling in the August heat, but fall beers already are nudging summer seasonals aside on Charlotte shelves. To help with that transition, the fine brewers at Duck-Rabbit offer Schwarzbier, a black lager that boasts the crispness of a lager with roasty coffee and chocolate flavors.

Schwarzbier pours a dark, opaque black, but most everything else about it is lighter - the delicate sweetness, the hint of hop bitterness and the clean, thin texture. A superb way to ease your way into autumn

Love the pumpkin beers.

any new beers that will make its debut in the fall? Any companies like Sam Adams or anyone debuting new stuff?

Sam Adams has a new Rauchbier (smoked beer) coming out that I think is in their fall 12-pack samplers. I love smoked beers but I haven't had that one yet.

On the more rare side, Founders is bottling their very highly-regarded "Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS)". I'm really hoping to get a few bottles of that. If anyone sees it anywhere around Charlotte in October and wants to hook a guy up, I'd certainly appreciate it.

I had their new Rauchbier in the fall mixed pack it's good, it's very smokey so if you enjoy smoked beers you should like it, but it's not for everyone.

I liked it and thought the smoke wasn't too overpowering -- just right for an easy-drinking lager, in my opinion. But then I love tons and tons of smoke in my beers. Anything by Aecht Schlenkerla (but especially their "Eiche") is delicious.

      Edge Rushers

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop

      Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.

      Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
